When hunting for Amazon fly fishing tackle deals, it can be a little overwhelming at first. Particularly if you're new to fly fishing. In this post, we're going to walk you through some of the things to look out for... and some of the things to avoid.

Rods

The rod you choose will make or break your fly fishing experience. Not only does it need to be of good quality, but it also needs to suit you. There are many factors you should consider, such as where you fish, what you intend to catch, right down to the handle type you prefer. The heavier the catch, the stronger (and heavier) the rod. This can also be loosely translated to the size of the catch. Amazon fly fishing tackle products will often be listed with all the details in the title, however, you should dig down into the specifications to make sure you're getting the right rod for you.

Reels

In keeping with the theme of weight, your reel choice should reflect the weight of the fish you hope to catch. Some fish, such as Trout, get their own class of reel, so if you're hoping to catch some you should search "Trout Fly Reels", rather than looking for a specific weight. Amazon fly fishing tackle deals will frequently come as a bundle with all the basics, particularly if you search for reels, This is fine for your first kit, but you'll soon want to tailor things to your tastes.

Lures and Fly Boxes

It should be said that, while there are always exceptions, any deal that looks too good to be true is probably too good to be true. If you search for Amazon fly fishing tackle deals and find a complete fly box with 64 lures for the same price as a pack of 16 lures on their own, there's a good chance that the 64 lures and fly box are not great quality. It's always worth reading the reviews before making a judgment, however.

Apparel

One should never overlook waders and wading boots when getting their fly fishing tackle together. Even things like polaroid sunglasses can be a valuable addition to your kit. Clothes add another dimension of complexity, however. Be sure to do your research regarding sizes. Many wearable items will have reviews stating if you should "order big", meaning that the item is a little smaller than average and you should order the next size up.

Shop Carefully

Most Amazon buyer-regret can be avoided by simply managing your expectations and reading plenty about the products. As mentioned above, if something looks too good to be true, it probably is. And always read the descriptions carefully. Reviews are by far the most reliable indicator of which Amazon fly fishing tackle products are hot and which are not, but also pay close attention to the reviewers. If someone states that they loved a particular rod but that it was their first-time fly fishing, take their review with a pinch of salt.
